Sometimes it's good when a group doesn't take themselves so damn seriously. This is one of those cases. "Fuck this bummer song! Let's yuck it up! She's Sammy butt ugly and stupid anyway!"
WOW!!! The Tremeloes KICK ASS in this LIVE cover of a Cat Stevens original AND they take a sad song and make it BETTER by not curbing their enthusiasm one bit!!. Decca records signed the Tremeloes & NOT the Silver Beatles in 1962 but sadly, the Beatles had very few of their originals to audition with back then and had to rely on covers of others hit songs.. (I still think that the guitarist & bass player that are lead singing on "Here comes my baby" look a lot like George Bush & Bobby Sherman!)
Thanks for posting this video. Good catch to Tantalus52 who caught that it's a Cat Stevens composition, even though he never released it as a single, nor compteted with the Tremeloes hit version. It's refreshing to see live TV or concert performances before the MTV-era. So many US performances were lip synced because of standard record industry politics and TV producers wanted the "hit" sound on the air.
1967 the summer of love, walking alone in the midnight moonlight hour, laughing at the pain of the love that is "never to be mine, no matter how I try".. It's all about letting go, accepting what is, and even CELEBRATING it.- Hey-hey-hey- You've got to laugh at love or go insane, then you'll never walk alone!
When the right sound (tune) and song comes together it feel GREAT! The sound of the 60's developed that creativity with GREAT young musicians of the time and raw talent. We did it, again, MISSIOM ACCOMPLISHED!

@suzigar VERY interesting. Hang on to that tape,it could make you a millionaire. Mind you,it doesn't hold a candle to the video I've got featuring the Loch Ness Monster duetting with Diana Ross. It makes you wonder what other treasures people may have stowed away in their attics.
I really like this track. It´s a kind of raw and honest rock music from the 60s. My hobby is to rediscover all those great bands from that period that didn´t "reach the highest level" - in contrast to this band. It´s a fantastic musical treasure. Listen (youtube) fro example to:
THE ZETTLERS and their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah".
Really f....g great with a bloody driving beat.
THE GOLLIWOGS and the tune "Tell me". Check up the singer...yes, it´s him!!
Those were the "Good Old Days" !! I love my memories !! HaHa....I EVEN HAVE MY FIRST CAR.....A 1962 CHEVY SS CONVERTIBLE !! I EVEN MARRIED MY GIRLFRIEND !! After 44 YEARS, I GUESS I'M NOT GUNNA CHANGE !!
WHEN "YOU'VE GOT A WINNER, STICK WITH IT" !!! "T.J." 11/16/11
I always hear people say "Why can't music be this good these days?" or "you won't find music this good these days!". You can, you just have to look under the radar. With the internet, there are actually lots of choices.
@tbibmarnie my sentiments exactly, I was born in 1958 but was just too young be part of the swinging 60's. I love this music and wish I was back there.
You know, laying in bed, sucking down a couple of chardoonays and hearing this song in my head and I think :Christ, this song sounds like Cat Stevens (Yusuf). So I popped out of bed and ran to Youtube and damned if Cat Sevens didn't write it. er....Yusuf. I'll be damned.
@mungous1000 Depends on you define 'good' but Tea For The Tillerman just doesn't do it for me nor the lame cover of the great Sam Cooke's Another Saturday Night.
I wonder why this song did not make it to becaome a top chart hit in the USA. Apart from the Beatles and th Stone, the majority of early 60s British beat did not make it in the US. On the other side, Eddie Cochran was hugely popular in the UK during the early 60s.
If you think of it.......this is the type of song that could have been an early lennon and mccartney hit....it has that sound......picture this song sung by 1965'ish beatles
whats cool about white dudes is we are into havin fun while the rest of the world is crying about their problems . thats why God takes care of us cause he prefers being happy to sad and can relate to us better.
@fbeatleboppinjohn It's all part of pop history now, but the Beatles let themselves down badly at their audition largely due to their choice of songs. Brian Poole and the Tremeloes were a more than capable outfit that went on to have a lot of success. They auditioned well and were given the nod over the Beatles. Dick Rowe did want to sign the Beatles as well but was only allowed to sign one band. Brian Epstein subsequently approached Tony Meehan at Decca who also turned them down.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
These guys are awesome to watch, they are having so much fun performing. The lead singer only broke his smile once, when he let the other singer take the stage with his whistling. That guy's facial expression could move the whole world.
I absolutely love this live version- it sounds like a total party going on. This song always makes me feel happy, kind of like when I wa syounger- much younger listening to music during my high school years. Thanks for posting this and I hope anybody who graduated from Overlea High in MD. hears this and enjoys it as much as I do!
Yeah, 427s or 426 hemis ruled. No problem with PD. Beer was legal for 18 year olds. Gas was only 33 cents per gallon for 106 octane. McDonalds were 15 cents and milk shakes 25 cents and fries 10 cents. Were we the last generation to have fun?
Nothing wrong with all that infectious clapping, whistling and grinning - I loved it then and I still love it now. Just wondered if they ever listened to the words.
Live performances are such a let down today. Nice. Now see, if da board members wood mak yur teachers talk like music robots, dem kids would listen today. Obviously you don't know what I'm talking about. That's so RAVEN :)
I had a long night ahead of me coach driving following a long day at an outdoor venue driving the performers to and fro. The evening was a 60s night (when they were first becoming popular). We drivers had an hour off and decided to go see the bands. This was playing as we walked to the front. Fab stuff - tiredness and inhibitions (we were in uniform!) dissolved as we bopped for an hour. Lovely memories of then and the original time it came out when I was a kid. Great.
@ummerrahh Probably valve amps I should have thought, going by that era wasn't any circuit amps around in those days.
They create such a fuller kind of sound though which is good, but the valves that did the actual amplification have always had a tendency to blow, so they always need allot of maintenance, but the circuit amps dont, Marshall have FDD (frequencey dependant damping), which mimics a valve amp.
No, he's now bowing five times a day facing Mecca! I met him several times in Toronto when I worked for WEA Records (not his label). He's a great guy, What a shame.
Bizarre that they would be so fucking happy singing this....it's not a fun song....it's a sad song about losing your true love to another, then seeing them walking along the street...it's about pain....with a catchy tune...
@nicodagger I totally agree with you! I feel bad for smiling and having fun as I listen to it due to the lyrics. I think of it as them making the best of a bad situation, in turn making us feel good as we listen to it if we too happen to be in that same situation.
The words are sad However the guys play w/ fun which carryovers to listeners. here is the lesson..make something sad fun for cry you cry alone, laugh and the world laughs w/ you
What a great song performed by another great band from England. They're like the Beatles; guitars and drum putting out a great sound with no electronic bullshit massaging it into something it's not. Great post! Thank you!

Bizarre that they would be so fucking happy singing this....it's not a fun song....it's a sad song about losing your true love to another, then seeing them walking along the street...it's about pain....with a catchy tune...

@nicodagger I totally agree with you! I feel bad for smiling and having fun as I listen to it due to the lyrics. I think of it as them making the best of a bad situation, in turn making us feel good as we listen to it if we too happen to be in that same situation.

Good one to check out if you're looking for a nice, anemic version with lousy vocals.

What a great song performed by another great band from England. They're like the Beatles; guitars and drum putting out a great sound with no electronic bullshit massaging it into something it's not. Great post! Thank you!
